Newborn Nursery® Adoption Centers
Could this be a possible success that Middleton Doll and their investors have been looking for? With their sales continually trailing off in the last few years and the consumer goods section showing on and off losses lately DOLL has been looking hard for a catalyst. Could this be the innovation that they need to get their sales and profits fired up.
If you read the paragraph at the bottom of the page, it lists 8 of the currently running Adoption Centers. The company says the stores have been very successful and they now plan for Saks to expand it to 100 stores in the next 3 years. I am very curious of just how successful the stores are. Is there anyone who lives near these areas that could check them out?
The quarterly report last November stated the following "...$0.26 million of start-up sales for Newborn Nursery dolls and accessories for Saks Department Stores" I assume this was for eight stores considering that is what they had at the time. If you conservatively assume that this was for a whole quarter then 100 stores would increase sales by $3.35 million. This would represent a 40% increase to sales in 3 years, and using current gross margins and equal operating cost, a 550% increase in operating profits to $1.829 Million. ***Based on last quarterly report. On top of that management lately has been increasing gross margins, and lowering operating costs especially administration costs. If this plan is successful I do not see why it could not be fairly valued at $30 a share with $1.96 a

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Product Description
I have to give a shout out to my buddy Annie Smith (Quilting Stash podcaster) for her book, the Ultimate Applique Guidebook. This book is sensational! Everything you need to succeed with applique is within its pages. There are over 150 applique design elements-flowers, leaves, stems, vases, birds etc-and you can mix and match all of the elements to design your own applique treasures! There are reviews for both hand and machine techniques for applique, as well as step-by-step instructions with very detailed pictures to help you through the applique process. Every tool you need is reviewed, and full-size patterns and beautiful examples of applique quilts are also included. Annie really did a bang-up job with this book and I couldn't be more pleased for her, as there is hardly a more generous and humble person in the industry.

I found this one to be inspiring and easy to follow with encouragement to use either hand or machine stitching and reasons for using one or the other.
Includes instructions for layering and suggestions for choosing the right colours on your background to make your applique designs really stand out.
This will become part of my reference library.
I am not a newby or an old hand at applique so this suited me perfectly.
There is tons of patterns/design elements included and ready to use as is or create your own designs with. Worth the price, especially on sale!
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The book contains 150 designs- lots of flowers, stems and vases. It also has patterns for cute dog and cat patterns and patterns for bugs- lady bugs and bees are some.
I like this book because it contains a lot of useable patterns that you could mix and match, and that you could adapt to make your own designs and blocks. It is also a great reference book and a book that will give you new ideas for your quilts.

5 stars - A sexy Arum with a bad attitude and very talented hands will have you flipping those pages at top speed! I must start with Hunter. He will be compared to Daemon but he isn't Daemon. His attitude is much worse than Daemon's. A hired killer of Luxen for the DOD, Hunter makes no excuses for what he does. So when the DOD put him on babysitting duty, he's pissed off. You really don't want to piss Hunter off. When he's mad, he is one powerful Arum. But here's the deal, Serena doesn't put up with his attitude despite the fact that he can or may kill her. She mouths off to him and he loves it. She's feisty. Might just be the only weapon he can't defeat. Hunter really appeals to me. He has the all male "I can kick your ass" attitude down and in his case is very true. He does what he wants but the death of his sister has caused him to adjust what he wants. Now he may have found someone else that changes what he wants. Oh and this guy knows sexy. There is so much sexy in this book. As good a fighter as he is, he's a better lover and damn that's saying something. Serena is a strong, feisty women in a small package. I love how she stands up to him, despite her total inability to take him on in ANY way. Doesn't stop her. That appeals to me and him. They're cute together. Her stomping her foot (not really but you get the idea) and him laughing at her useless efforts. While there is nothing funny about the death and insanity that Serena's life has taken, I found myself laughing at these two together. Jennifer's use of humor to develop her characters into real people is just one of the reasons she is my favorite author. The story starts off quickly and never slows down. I was very impressed with how well this story stood on it's own without any need to know anything from the Lux series. I was also so impressed with how much of what I had believed about the Luxen world was turned on it's head in this book. The Arum are bad, right? Yeah, they are killers of the Lux but maybe not for the reason I thought. There certainly are two sides to every story and damn if this isn't a brilliant addition to the puzzle. I think this book is supposed to hold me over until August when Origin comes out but it only made me WANT that book more. Little hints were left that have me desperate to get more of the story. I love this alien world and all it's complexity. Overall, I loved it. Couldn't get enough of it. Wanted more. I'm wondering if there will be more of this adult Arum/Lux world. I hope so. I would so be down for that. If you've read the Lux series, then this is a must read NOW. If you prefer the adult paranormal world, then this is a must read NOW. If you love hot guys that turn their attitude into protectiveness, then this is a must read NOW. Yeah, I think you're getting the point. Read it NOW.
This book was outstanding! I feel like a lot of times authors try to rush a story, and you don't get it. I often wonder how authors can make stories with such an un-realistic bond between a female and male. With this book it make sense. I actually got the attraction between Serena and Hunter. It was not rushed. I thought it was the perfect story of A bad boy SLOWLY turning good. I mean what kind of girl does not want to read about a reformed bad boy!
Let start with saying that this made me see everything differently! First, Hunter! It's like Daemon and Aiden smashed into the the body of an Arum. He's a total bad boy but has that sweet layer in him. And what he feels for Serena is similar to Daemon and Kate. He's protective but still sweet at times and it has to be that dang alien DNA making him so hot! Of course we can't forget Serena! Like Kate she doesn't really take bull crap. She loves Hunter from the very first look even though he is a d-head half the time. You can see them circling each other through the book till BAM they come together instantly. And of course this novel wouldn't be the same if Luc and Paris and a little of Daemon wasn't spinkled in! And of course that evil plan everybody is talking about is just too shocking! I don't know who the bad guys are anymore. We humans are stuck in the middle of two powerful yet arrogant group of aliens and all we can do is sit and wait because the gov't has decided to keep everything locked up! Thank you DOD! This book definetly gives you a different view of the Arum and keeps you on the edge the whole time! Love the book Jennifer! Keep up the good work!
For those who are unsure and because I have been asked numerous times about it, this is NOT a YA book. It IS set within the same "world" as the Lux series BUT these characters are adults who think and act like adults - just so you know. I am a sucker for background stories and this was like a mini history lesson for the Lux series. Not only do I view the Luxen differently now, but I neverevereverever expected to like the tall, dark and shadowy Hunter. He has a potty mouth like nobody's business but he cracked me up! (He would have to curb that if he came to visit, but still.) He thinks he has this job in the bag but Hunter gets more than he bargained for with Serena. She's strong, loyal, feisty and has an aim that would give the best MLB pitcher arm envy. Unsure of who can really be trusted, Hunter and Serena have no choice but to depend on each other. The longer they're together though the more dangerous the situation becomes and the harder their attraction is to deny. (insert super steamy parts) Hunter will be forced to choose between keeping his kind off the radar, protecting his heart and Serena safe, that's if he can keep from killing her himself.
I normally don't go for the alien romance but this book was enthralling. If your not sure give it a chance and I'm sure you will be happy with the purchase. I know I lost plenty of sleep trying to finish this one wanting to see what would happen next.
Holy moley was this ever a phenomenal story. Can't wait for another.
~Reviewed by ANN & posted at Under the Covers Book Blog OBSESSION is a book packed with action and emotion. Armentrout blurs the line between good and bad and sometimes, not knowing is part of the thrill. ~ Under the Covers Jennifer L. Armentrout takes us to the other side of her masterful creations. OBSESSION is the first adult book that focuses on the Arum. If you've read the Lux series by Armentrout, then you're already familiar with the alien dynamics. This time though, we see the "bad guys" point of view and it's just a bit more mature. There is sex and swearing – all the good things that we love in an adult novel. Now if you haven't read the Lux series yet (which is a YA series), I still think this book can be read without it. However, having read the others books, I do feel that you get a richer picture of the world and the characters that way. If you're an adult looking to try it, then I say go for it. The Lux series is quite sexy compared to other YA books I've read. And if you're a teen looking to try OBSESSION, just be warned that there is explicit sex and bad words that you probably already know anyways. Onto the story now! Serena Cross's friend has seen the unbelievable so she crosses it from her mind until she witnesses the death of her friend just minutes after. It's all a shock to her, but her grief is consumed by the knowledge that something else is out there that isn't quite human. Hunter is a ruthless killer and unfortunately for him, the Department of Defense wants him to take care of Serena until they can figure out this whole mess. Hunter is baffled by these instructions because he doesn't know how to care for anything other than himself. He takes lives, not protects them. However, on their first meeting, there is a certain kind of chemistry between them that surprises him. Hunter reacts the only way he knows how – by being a jerk to her. This here reminds me a lot of Daemon and Katy's initial dynamics so if you enjoyed that, then you will love this. Hunter is a man's man. Not the cuddly kind, but in the presence of Serena you begin to see how his protective instincts soon reveal a gooey core. There is great action in this book! Armentrout has a very vivid imagination and the action scenes fit her writing very well. With perfect pacing and an incredible amount of unique abilities, her characters are X-men on crack. There was one thing that bothered me though about this book. I was expecting the writing to be different purely because of the adult nature of the book. It's far more sexier and uses curse words. I get that and I don't mind it at all, but I was hoping that the inner dialogue, especially from Serena's POV, would feel more mature. She is in her early twenties and sometimes, I thought her mind was that of a younger teen. It works fabulously with her YA and NA novels, however, I wanted a little more maturity in terms of thought process from this heroine. An Adult book isn't simply an adult book because of the presence of explicit sex and curse words. The workings of the mind are different and their values are different. I wanted more exploration of that in this book. All in all, OBSESSION is a book packed with action and emotion. Armentrout blurs the line between good and bad and sometimes, not knowing is part of the thrill. *ARC provided by publisher
If you love the Lux series but like me you are an adult and kinda wanted more well her you go. And holy hell JLA has out done herself. I think this my favorite book ever written by her. I loved this book, words will not give this book justice. I love Jennifer's YA series and so I wasn't sure what to expect here but man oh man she did an amazing job. Watch out Daemon because I think I am more in love with Hunter! Hunter is just hot. He is that sexy alpha male. He is a bad ass. He isn't sweet and cuddly. He is an arrogant bad ass and I love him. He has a lot of Daemon like qualities but we get to see him naked. ;) He is also an Arum and what we know of most Arum they are evil. Which most still are but we see there are a few good guys.Serena was awesome. She is feisty and even though she needs Hunter to protect her she isn't a damsel in distress granted she does make a few dumb decisions. But she doesn't let Hunter boss her around (unless its in the bedroom) and she excepts Hunter and all his darkness. Not only is this book sexy its a great story. Serena accidentally got caught up in alien politics (no the book doesn't call it that, its just me) Hunter is there to do his job and protect her. We see more of behind the scenes of the DOD and see that Arum and Lux are not always the good or bad guys. But we all know my favorite part was the sexual chemistry and watching these two get it on! We do get to see a some characters from the Lux series. Maybe not a whole lot of the one we are all dying to see but we do see him. We get a feeling for what is going to happen in Origin too. I think you could read this book without having read the Lux series but I think people who have read that series will definitely love this so much! Like I said before I can't even explain my love for this book, its just so freaking amazing! I never thought I would love books with aliens in it but Jennifer's aliens are just too damn sexy not to love, and Hunter is brings sexy to a whole new level. I hope we see more of him soon.
Loved Hunter can't wait to see more books with him he is one sexy character! another awesome book from the mind of a very talented author
Had potential. The intelligence that could have gone into delving deeper into the non-sexual aspects of the story would have gone so much farther than the same old soft porn.
Love it! This is even better than the Lux books. Please write Lore's book next!!
Absolutely worth reading. And if you haven't read the luxen series, you really should.
Another fantastic book from JLA! The Lux series is one of my favorites, so I was so excited to hear she was writing an adult book from the Arum side of things. And oh, man was this good!! Holy freaking hotness!! Hunter is the bad boy to the core, but he's still oh, so good!! And of course Serena has an awesome amount of snark that we know the author writes so well!! This was all sorts of awesome. It had my adrenaline pumping, laughing out loud, fanning myself, and swooning hard! The best part? Dual POV's!! I will start with Serena. She is snark times twenty. She doesn't take crap from anyone, and the more you tell her to do something, the more she will fight it. Piss her off, she will throw things at you. Really though, she has just been taken away from her life and is now being protected by an alien. He infuriates her, and gets her all hot and bothered. She is very impulsive, doesn't listen well, and is stubborn as hell, but I totally loved her. She is also fierce and totally loyal to doing the right thing, even if it means putting herself at risk to do it. Hunter is fan-freaking-tastic. Oh, my yum!!! Okay, so he's an ass, really he is, but he is a sexy, hot ass who is every bit as alluring as he is aggravating. He is seriously sex on a stick. He knows what he wants and he goes for it. Okay, so besides his deliciousness, he is badass. When things get complicated, he will go against everything to protect Serena. He finds that he is starting to care for her and when she is at risk he goes into super scary Arum mode!! He is a bit off putting at first, but since we get his POV too, we learn that he's not as much of a jerk as he comes off as... most of the time. Besides the sexiness of this book, my favorite thing was the familiar characters from the Lux series. We don't get a whole lot of them, but it was nice how it ties in. Also there are little bits that give some insight into where the Lux series is possibly headed. It makes me super nervous and really excited at the same time. We learn a little more about the government and how they tie into things, and more about the history of the Luxen and Arums from the Arum side of things. Through the Lux series the Arum have always seemed liked the bad guys, but I think I may be having a change of heart. Not to say I don't like the Luxen, but things are definitely not good/bad for me anymore. I think it's all about the individuals. This was super awesome. It was such a fun and sexy book. You don't need to have read the Lux series to enjoy this as it's just set in the same world, and adult. If you like books that bring on the steam, the laughs, the frustration, and adventure, this is definitely one to read! This was everything I was expecting and more. I want more of the adult part of this world!!
This book was amazing! I can't wait for the next one
I didn't have a problem with the story. I knew what I signed up for when I bought the book.
Love this book, sexy, frustratingly good. Wouldn't say no to a book 2
unless you like sex on every other page you "WILL NOT" enjoy this book. I found it boring and it had no real depth or plot. I did not read all of the book. Jennifer L. Armentrout also wrote 'Stay with Me'. Much the same sexual description. It did have somewhat of a plot. I doubt I will continue to read her books.
This is Hunter and Serena's tale. An Arum and a human, can you imagine? This is also definitely an adult installment in the Lux universe. You meet Hunter in the main series briefly and later on in Opposition where he plays a more pivotal role. You also see him with Serena and how much he cares for her and this is their story. Serena's friend witnesses a pair of Luxen arguing and discovers they're not human. She confides in Serena and is later murdered before her eyes. The DOD steps in and orders Hunter to guard her and figure out if she knows anything more. When the DOD turns on her, Hunter has to make a choice. This novel was nicely done! Of course, while it was nice to see that the villains aren't all evil people-eating monsters, I wasn't thrilled about reading this installment at first. However, the heat between Hunter and Serena nearly melt the pages of the book and you get a nice taste of how the other side see things. It made for a nice change of pace, the humanizing of the Arum. JLArmentrout did an amazing job with the adult interactions – she's definitely not a one-trick pony. Although I loved how feisty Serena was and how very, very dangerous Hunter was to her. This is the only book in the Lux universe however that I can remember one slight flaw – to me anyway. I felt the whole 'lust-to-love' moment went a little fast. One minute all he can think of is getting in her pants and is a bit possessive, next it's all wham, she's no longer in danger of being eaten. Other than that, though, I loved this installment! I'll give it a 4.5 stars!
Not to be missed! I loved Jennifer L. Armentrout's Acknowledgements, and I definitely count myself among the readers of the Young Adult Lux paranormal series who enjoyed seeing this aliens-are-amongst-us series in the adult playground. The temptation to fill a review with copious quotes and favorite moments is hard to resist with any of her books and Obsession was no different for me both on the first read and this re-read. I loved Hunter as much as I have loved Daemon in each of the related Lux series books. I could totally see what made Hunter so irresistible to Serena and why she described him like this, 'he oozed that kind of dark sex appeal that made good girls do bad, bad things. Over and over again.' It was such a trippy experience to discover that the Luxen & Arum alien species were NOT easily defined as good aliens versus evil aliens as we are led to believe by Daemon and his siblings in the Lux series books. From Daemon's perspective, that was always just the way things were. Now with Hunter's additional perspective as a hunter of rogue aliens for the Department of Defense (DOD), we see how complex this war between these two alien species really is. As we learn in a scene with Hunter and two DOD officers, there is also some great foreshadowing in Obsession, nicely hinting at what's to come in Opposition, the 5th and final book in the YA Lux series book. "I've told you all before. You think the Luxen are manageable because they're purdy when they glow, but they are going to mow right over the human race." Chapter 3, Hunter The DOD puts Hunter in charge with safeguarding Serena, a human female who has no idea that aliens live among humans with the government's knowledge and he is less than thrilled. 'I was not happy about this. There wasn't a patient bone in my body and the only reason I was ever around a woman was to sate a primal hunger. I didn't watch over them. I didn't protect them. It wasn't in my nature, and the officers knew that. I wasn't the good guy here. There was a good chance I'd kill Miss Cross.' Chapter 3, Hunter The chemistry between Hunter and Serena is palatable, but there's a twist, of course! 'Hunter's lips didn't touch mine, but it almost felt like they did. I could feel their coolness, and in the back of my mind I wondered how they would feel and taste. And then, his mouth was on mine. His lips were cool and firm. My startled gasp opened my mouth to his. He tasted like winter snow and something dark and rich, like chocolate. But he wasn't kissing me. Hunter inhaled.' Chapter 5, Serena What ensues after this moment? Well a whole lot of witty dialogue and sexy innuendos which quickly pay off in a big way. That coupled with the further insight we gain into the Luxen and Arum mythologies all combined into a really thrilling read. It's a must-read for fans of the Lux series, preferably after reading Opal (book 3) and easily readable for non-fans who prefer adult fiction only. The Lux series recently came to an end with Opposition, the 5th & final book in the series, but I would love a spin-off series or a novella telling us how Hunter's friend Dex (an Arum) and Eliza (a human female), became a couple. Obsession can be read as an independent standalone or as a companion to the Young Adult Lux paranormal series. Here's the order that I originally read it in as the Lux series and this standalone novel were being published: Obsidian-1, Onyx-2, Shadows-0.5, Opal-3, Obsession, Origin-4 and Opposition-5.

My garage has never been nicer. I enjoy watching a movie or just tv programming while working on my Model A. I love the picture quality with its vivid colors.
For the price this is an ok tv. Sound quality is weak. No way to resume a dvd where It's been stopped. It has to be reloaded after shut off. The screen tilts forward on the stand, like angles toward the floor. Have to prop it up to level it. No blu-ray. Okay for $200 though.
This is a great product for the money! I was a little worried the picture wouldn't be so clear, but it's great. I got 2 of these for my kid's rooms and they have been wonderful! I have no complaints at all!!
The TV was easy to set up and connect to satelite. The picture is very good. The colors are true and the sound is good. I have not tried the DVD player yet but if the TV is this good, the DVD player should be also. I'd purchase again for another room when needed.
Overall a very good value for the money, good quality and all the features I was looking for. Very easy to use.
One thing I would comment on is the ship to store option, it took 2 weeks for my item to arrive which I thought was a bit long.
After a lot of resarch on the different web pages for electronics I found this TV. Full HD with Built-In DVD Player at a better price than other LCD TV's. After reading the reviews I get convinced and order this one instead of the another VIORE also 24" but LED.
I'm rating the Picture quality with 3 starts for the only reason that it's not 180° viewable. You need to be in front of the TV to get a good image.
It's a basic TV and didn't have fancy Features, actually I get some troubles to Add / Delete channels and to Set Up the favorites.
If you don't have space or a place to put the DVD on a wall mounted TV this is your TV.
The sound is very good for a 24" TV.
The TV has a good picture, and the built in DVD player is a plus. Unfortunately, the stand is not strong enough to fully support the TV. With the weight of the DVD player, and the poor stand construction, this TV leans to the right and slightly forward. The speakers are located at the bottom of the TV, so when sitting on a stand, your sound is muffled. I would suspect that mounting the TV with a wall mounting system would help the sound and leaning issues, but I originally had no desire to mount this TV.
I read the reviews and figured that i couldn't go wrong with the positive feedback and the price tag. Well, we got it very quickly and were excited to set it up .... IT DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON. So, we tried the customer support number and it wouldn't go through - sounded like it was a disconnected number. Needless to say, we returned the TV the next day and ordered a Sanyo. I will say that the return was easy - no problems at all with Walmart Customer Service.
I purchased this TV/DVD combo for my bedroom and I love it. The tv is perfect for small rooms. TV set up was easy. Picture quality is quite good. The sound is pretty decent as well. I've watched several DVD's and was quite satisfied with how they played; haven't experienced any problems. This was truly a fantastic value for the price, and I would definitely recommend purchasing this product.
Bought it for my 10 year old daughter. Would buy another one for my son, but maybe a couple inches bigger. The picture seems small or I'm used to bigger tv's I guess.
Inexpensive tv/dvd combo. Sound is horrible. Picture quality is bad with regular cable, nice with dvd and haven't used with HD box (I would hope it's of good quality).
For a kids room, it's perfect.
Very good value for the money. Picture is bright and color and sound good. Using this in the kids room so it gets used everyday.
The only thing I don't like it the ugly red molded piece under the TV. Not sure why someone would think it would be stylish but leaving it black or maybe a modern silver color would have been better.
I bought this based on reviews and price. I use this for bedroom/patio TV and seems to work well. I have only used it twice so I do not have a more lengthy time frame to pass judgement as of yet. I also have not used the DVD player to evaluate that as well, but as a whole, I think this is a great deal for its purpose.
I love this Television. We use it in our camper often. It has the built it DVD player that is perfect for us. The price is great and the picture is as good or better than the more expensive televisions. If you need a wonderful television at a great price try the Viore, I know you will be pleasantly surprised!!
The picture quality was very poor.
The base supplied with the TV was not very stable.
The screen had defects.
The sound was acceptable but not great.
The color, brightness,contrast,and sharpness controls would not correct the picture quality.
I did not play a dvd so I cannot comment on that part of the TV.
My husband and I purchased this for my mother in-law for her birthday/mother's day. It was perfect for her. The size was just right for her room and it having a dvd player saved much needed space. The quality of the picture and sound quality are excellent. I would definately recommend this product.
Purchased this TV for our cabin. While some DVDs didn't play in our other 5 machines, they played in this one...Impressed!! We have to play this TV at its highest volume in order to hear it :( Our only complaint! Would probably be a great TV for the bedroom or smaller spaces?
The picture is great. Very clear and detailed. The sound is a little "hollow" and when on Surround sound the quality is good, but you have to turn it way up to be able to hear it well. The built-in DVD player is very convenient and works like a charm.
The built -in DVD is what sold me, you don't need to buy extra devices, the picture, sound is great this is my first time buying this brand, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller TV w/a built-in DVD player. Thanks
If the screws had been just a little longer, the stand would have been easier to attach...frustrating! Other than that, the rest was a snap. The sound is a bit tinny but the picture on this is fabulous. Pleased!
I bought my RCA & loved it. This Viore had the quality of a 1960's transistor radio. I could not do anything to make the sound not "tinny". Put it right back into the box it came in & returned it immediately.

Hello! My name is Jeremy, and I am offering piano lessons using techniques that will help your playing feel easy and natural.
While I am also a performer and have been heard by audiences across Australia, Canada, Austria and the United States, I find teaching piano to be very rewarding.
Originally from Australia, I came to New York to study the Taubman Approach to piano playing with it's leading exponent, Edna Golandsky.
The Taubman Approach is a body knowledge that gives the pianist tools in which to fully express themselves at the piano in a healthful, co-ordinate way, and is sought after by professional pianists as well as anyone at any stage in their training alike.
It first came about by studying the underlying movements of what goes on in virtuoso playing in child prodigies. These movements have also proven to be able to relieve people out of playing-related fatigue, pain, and even serious injuries.
I am someone who has benefited immensely from learning this technique and am currently in the teacher certification program, administered by the Golandsky Institute.
I am a soon to be master's candidate at the Manhattan School of Music and am currently a staff pianist with the New York Opera Exchange and with the voice department at Queens College. I am an encouraging, friendly teacher that is looking for students both young and young-at-heart, and of all abilities. Whether you are just starting, re-starting, or need help in finding answers to your playing-related fatigue, pain or injury, I would like to offer you my time and expertise! Hello!

For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have been playing piano for over twenty years and have performed all over Australia, Austria, Canada and the United States. I have nine years of teaching experience and am currently in Teacher Training Certification Program at the Golandsky Institute to formalize my training as a piano teacher in the Taubman Approach, learning how to teach students how to play healthily in order for them to fully express themselves. I have a Bachelor of Music (piano performance major) from Queens College and will be commencing my Masters of Music at the Manhattan School of Music in Fall 2014.
Healthful piano lessons - chase your dreams!

I bought several of these and the hanging storage items that go with it.
i got the short bar, the knife rack and the wide wire basket. these two items JUST fit the short bar, but i needed that length for the space i was using. mounted easily in minutes (thanks husband) and included all necessary hardware. it looks really cool--that rustic industrial feel that i believe can work in many style kitchens--and it also utilizes the wasted space between cabinet and counter. so yeah, useful and adds a cool funky element.

Skip to comments.The case for nuke carsit's called 'hydrogen.' [Fuel cells make ZERO sense.]
Posted on 09/23/2005 2:19:38 PM PDT by newgeezer
Funny thing about hydrogen cars: If we were all driving them now, the President's FreedomCAR initiative would be anteing up its $1.8 billion to invent the gasoline engine. Freeing us from hydrogen would be "the moral equivalent of war," to use the words of a long-past energy-crisis president. Gasoline would be the miracle fuel. It would save money by the Fort Knoxful. It would save energy by the Saudi Arabiaful.
To see why this is so, let's look at the numbers. And for once, we're talking about a miracle fuel without speculation. We can see exactly how the "gasoline economy" would work by looking back to a year that's already happened. In 2000, gasoline consumption averaged 8.47 million barrels per day. Gas contains 5.15 million British thermal units of energy per barrel. For big numbers like this, it's customary to think in "quads," or quadrillion BTUs. So the gasoline energy used by motor vehicles in the year 2000 worked out to 16 quads.
Now let's do the same driving in hydrogen cars. Hydrogen is the most plentiful element on earth, but there's no underground pool of it we can drill into. All of nature's hydrogen atoms come married to other atoms in earnestly stable relationships. It takes an industrial process to break apart those marriages to obtain pure hydrogen in a form that can be used by fuel cells.
Think of fuel cells as black boxes into which we put hydrogen on one side and oxygen from the atmosphere on the other. Out the bottom come water and a small electrical current. There is no such thing as free power, of course. If you get power out when you let hydrogen and oxygen get married in a fuel cell, then you must put power into the process of divorcing them.
The industrial divorcing of water molecules is known as electrolysis. This is fuel by immaculate conception, according to most greenies. To make the chemistry work, you must put in 39.4 kilowatt-hours of energy for each kilogram of hydrogen you expect to liberate. Unfortunately, the electrolysis process is only 70 percent efficient. So the total energy input must be 56.3 kilowatt-hours per kilogram of hydrogen.
This energy to be added must come from somewhere. The U.S. has an excellent supply of coal. Coal-fired powerplants are about 40 percent efficient, so 140.8 kilowatt-hours of coal energy are required to net the 56.3 kilowatt-hours of electricity to produce our one kilogram of hydrogen.
My source for these calculations is Donald Anthrop, Ph.D., professor emeritus of environmental studies at San Jose State University, in a Cato Institute report.
In a perfect world, the fuel cell in our car would produce 33.4 kilowatt-hours of useful energy from each kilogram of hydrogen, and 6.0 kilowatt-hours would go to water vapor, giving you back your net investment of 39.4 kilowatt-hours at the electrolysis plant. But the world is not perfect, and the best fuel cells are only about 70 percent efficient. So the energy yield is 23.3 kilowatt-hours.
One more loss must be reckoned with. Hydrogen is a gas. It's lighter than air. Remember, it was the stuffing for the airship Hindenburg. Hydrogen gas (at atmospheric pressure and room temperature) containing the same energy as a gallon of gasoline takes up 3107 gallons of space. To make a useful auto fuel, Anthrop says it must be compressed to at least 4000 psi (Honda uses 5000 psi in the FCX; GM is trying for 10,000). The energy required to do that further trims the yield to 17.4 kilowatt-hours. Pressures higher than 4000 would increase miles available from each fill but cost more energy for compression. Liquefying hydrogen, which BMW advocates, costs upward of 40 percent of hydrogen's energy content.
So far, the numbers say this: Starting with 140.8 kilowatt-hours of energy from coal gives you 17.4 kilowatt-hours of electrical power from the fuel cell to propel the car, or an energy efficiency of 12 percent.
Anthrop goes on to estimate the fuel-cell power needed for the 2.526 billion miles driven in the U.S. in 2000. According to Southern California Edison, the electricity needed per mile for passenger cars is at least 0.46 kilowatt-hour. For the whole U.S. vehicle fleet, that works out to 1.16 trillion kilowatt-hours. You'll need 32 quads of coal, which is twice the energy actually consumed in 2000 with gasoline.
As for global-warming implications, the use of hydrogen from coal instead of gasoline would produce a 2.7-fold increase in carbon emissions.
Of course, all of today's electricity doesn't come from coal. But even with the current mix of sources, including natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, and wind, that much hydrogen would raise our carbon output to about twice the 2000 level.
The enviros like to talk about renewable energy. Anthrop has done those calculations as well. Hydro power is our largest source of green electricity, but it would take 15 times the current amount for an all-hydrogen vehicle fleet. Given the pressure to remove existing dams, it's unlikely we'll have any additional hydroelectricity.
Photovoltaic cells? Anthrop says it takes about eight years of cell output to make back the electrical power originally consumed in manufacturing the cell.
Wind power? It defies calculation, in part because wind blows only intermittently.
Virtually all the hydrogen produced today, about 50 million tons worldwide, comes from natural gas. The process, called "steam reforming," is only about 30 percent efficient, much less, he says, "than if the natural gas were simply burned" in the generating plant.
Producing enough hydrogen to replace gasoline by reforming natural gas would increase our gas consumption by 66 percent over 2002's usage. And don't forget the carbon emissions.
That leaves the unspeakablenukes.
Presumably, BMW knows all of this, yet it has been thumping the tub for hydrogen since the 1970s. Along with hundreds of other invitees, I attended BMW's hydrogen hootenanny at Paramount Pictures in 2001. Mostly, it amounted to a day of corporate preening before California's greenies. Still, BMW is famously brave in confronting technology. Does it have a plan? I summed up the science of this column, in writing, and passed it up through BMW's official channels, along with the obvious question: Where will the necessary quads and quads of energy come from for hydrogen cars? That was nearly two years ago. BMW has not answered.
No answer, of course, is the anwer.
My truck is powered by nonsense and I have a limitless supply.
10,000 psi containers of compressed hydrogen. That sure will be a lot of fun during a high-speed accident or other container failure. You thought a ruptured gas tank or throwing a piston was bad...
By the way, isn't it amazing that France gets 75% of its power from nuclear plants?

Have you seen the new Chevy Mallard? The car seats two, the rest of the vehicle being occupied by the reactor, the cooling tower, and 5000 tons of concrete shielding.
Us techies have been saying this all along--"Hydrogen, hydrogen everywhere, but nary a drop to burn."
What the hell is wrong with gasoline? Let's just close down the Sierra Club, NRDC and ACLU under RICO statutes, and then open up ANWR and the entire Western shale to unfettered production (f**k the caribou and salamanders, they can't drive). Investor's Business Daily estimates that the Western shale can produce enough oil to provide for America's entire demand for the next 400 years. Tree-huggers are the enemy. We voted in Republicans to shut those stupid pussies down. It's time to do that. Get the children (meaning Liberals) out of the office, it's time to let the adults solve America's energy needs.
The area of promise is entrained hydrogen generated catalytically or biologically. This is the only realistic hope.
If someone works it out, he will be rich beyond imagining!!!
From what I understand, the first hydrogen-cell-powered vehicles will be marketed by Ford. The first model has already been given a name..
The Ford Pinto II
I used to have one of those until I drove inside the Washington beltway. It accelerated to 200 mph and then the engine caught fire.
Ah, go on! That's nothing. Have you see the new Mitsubishi Cantaloupe?
The next wave for the internal combustion engine is ultra-pure low-sulfur diesel fuel, plus computerized diesel management and exhaust handling.
The engines will be small, 3-4 cylinders 2-liter max, ...about 20 BHP, and will be used in a hybrid configuration to both drive the car as needed and to charge the batteries for electric motors at each wheel. It will be, unlike the PRIUS, a plug-in set up that can be charged overnight to complement dynamic charging on coast or while braking.
And this makes sense because we can use our coal and nuclear resources to provide the elctrical energy needed to supplement fossil, or vegetable fuels. A big plus is that diesel needs somewhat less refinement than gasoline, and can be mixed with bio-fuels.
A peppy family car in this configuration might deliver 55mpg, overall, or even more. Read it and weep, O Sons of Allah! This is already happening in Europe. I suspect that if Chrysler could get enough small diesels from D-B, they would be trying it now.
BTW, today's IC engines are absolutely fabulous, with micro-finishes and tolerances managed out to the 100 Thousandth, they last forever and make even the cheapest flivvers one hell of a lot hotter than many Americans can handle.
One complaint: I cruise my ancient 240,000-mile M-B at 75. I am being continually left in the dust by Honda Civics, which showing their huge rear exhaust pipes, blow my doors off at easily 100+mph, and then disappear over the horizon. What's with this trend?
LOL! We had this wonderful old junker of a Audi when we lived in Germany (you know, back when the earth's crust was cooling) and one day my husband decided to "really try it out" on the Autobahn. So, peddle to the metal, he let 'er rip. That Audi gave it her all: 35mph-60mph in 45 seconds! My husband laughed that cruel laugh of triumph you husband's have.
"There!" he crowed. "And you said she'd never go over 45[mph]!"

There are at least two assumptions in this hit piece that are either unwarranted or uncertain.
First, there is no reason that we cannot use nuclear power plants to break the chemical bonds of the hydrogen compounds, such as water.
Second, it is far from certain that the hydrogen will have to be compressed. There are some promising technologies that allow for storage chemically.
One possibility (mentioned in this month's Scientific American) is that cars could be a lot lighter than they are today by using various space-age materials that are both far lighter and stronger than what we use today. And if you have a lighter car, you can use a lighter and smaller engine to move it. Combine light small cars with hybrid technology and biofuels, and we can tell the Saudis to drink their darned oil for all we care.
Hydrogen does have a very high mass energy density. This makes it a very good rocket fuel. But rockets are not a good way to transport people on their daily commute.
The weight of a fuel is not so important in a surface vehicle application. The volume the fuel takes up is. Hydrogen, even liquefied hydrogen, has a very low volumetric energy density. This makes it a lousy transportation fuel.
Add to it's low volumetric energy density the inherent inefficiencies of using hydrogen as a fuel and it becomes down right impossible. And trying to get around those inefficiencies (and deficiencies) by using fossil fuels to produce hydrogen only produces more wasted energy and pollution as burning the fossil fuels directly.
There are better renewable and alternative fuels out there. But the enviro-nitwits have dedicated themselves to hydrogen. And the fossil fuel companies are more than willing to jump on the hydrogen bandwagon. After all, even though the enviro-nitwits haven't cottoned on yet, the fossil fuel companies have already figured out the "hydrogen economy" means more consumption of their fossil fuel products, not less.
This energy could be mostly recaptured. Also, new materials will soon enable much higher pressures so this concern is not a reasonable one.
Yes, plug-in diesel hybrids are a good next step, but the next after that is to eliminate the mechanical drive train altogether.
"Of course, all of today's electricity doesn't come from coal"
Don't they use coal up where Teddy Kennedy lives? Now I know why his brain ain't working. LOL
But energy goes into the manufacture of gasoline. What's that number?
Last time I looked, various anhydride chemicals were co-products of hydrogen generation from natural gas sources. I haven't heard of natural anhydrides being a hydrogen source. Explain the process please.
Frankly, we've got plenty of fossil fuel, just little will (thanks to the Libs) to extract it...
The report by the RAND Environment, Energy and Economic Development program says that between 500 billion and 1.1 trillion barrels of oil are technically recoverable from high-grade oil shale deposits located in the Green River geological formation, covering parts of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
The mid-point of the RAND estimate 800 billion barrels is three times the size of Saudi Arabia's oil reserves. This is enough oil to meet 25 percent of America's current oil demand for the next 400 years.

There's no underground pool of gasoline either... Crude has to be refined...
With all its inefficiencies, the only real advantage of using hydrogen as a fuel source is that it can be burned without producing waste carbon to eneter the atmosphere. But extracting hyrogen directly from coal, by any process and regardless of other coproducts, still releases trapped carbon. And that defeats the only real point of moving to a "hydrogen economy".
The other stated purpose of the "hydrogen economy", energy independence, simply doesn't make sense for coal sourced hydrogen. Again, hydrogen's inefficiencies mean it would make more sense to make cars that burn coal directly. A coal driven car would release less carbon and yield more usefull energy than a car fueled by coal sourced hydrogen.
Bad as it paints the picture, it leaves out another dirty little secret. Hydrogen oxygen fuel cells depend on a platinum catalyst. Platinum is rarer then gold and more expensive. There is no domestic source of platinum, we'd have to buy it on the world market.
More food for thought!
It costs about $30/barrel to make gasoline from coal!
Back in 1949, the Bureau of the Mines in Louisville, Missouri put together a demonstration plant to produce gasoline from coal. Raw coal was first crushed to about 3/4 inch size and then pulverized in a ball-mill to less than 60 mesh, then dried to 1 or 2 percent moisture content. This is mixed with a small quantity of catalyst, such as iron oxide or tin oxalate, and with a heavy oil into a paste containing about 47 percent solids. Steam-driven pumps at 10,000 psi force this paste into a radiant-type heater in which the high pressure tubing is protected
by a superheated jacket. The plant was designed to work at 700 atmospheres or over 10,000 lb. pressure, in two major steps. This liquifies the coal and produces gasoline and its by-products. The output of the plant was from 300 barrels of gasoline per day depending on the coal used and the catalyst used.
Taken from ENCARTA 2004 by Microsoft.
That's not the point. The energy used to refine gasoline comes from the oil itself. Gasoline doesn't hold all the energy from the oil consumed to produce it, but it's still a positive net energy transfer from the well to your fuel tank.
Producing hydrogen, by any method, requires an external energy source. Unless someone figures out a way to get energy from the water used to produce hydrogen by electrolysis, hydrogen production is a net energy sink. The last time I checked, such an energy source (nuclear fusion) was still many many decades away. And has been many decades away for decades now.
Look toward Purdue University the brains of the country...
Yes, hydrogen is a way of making nuclear power portable. But the article errs in writing off fitful, opportunistic sources of energy (wind, wave action, etc. If a safe way can be found to bottle hydrogen between energy source and automobile, any of these sources can also be used to store energy as hydrogen. If the wind blows hard enough for one month of the year somewhere, that's still a valid source of hydrogen.
Not entirely a valid point. Traditional fuel cells do use platinum as a catalyst. But then so does the catalytic converter on your car's tail pipe. A hydrogen fueled vehicle wouldn't need a catalytic converter to convert unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust. So essentially it would just move the platinum from one end of the engine to the other.
I do have to give the hydrogen fuel cell pushers a little credit here. Most of the fuel cell research these days has gone into developing efficient membranes that do not contain platinum or other rare materials.
The fuel cells themselves are not really an issue in the hypothetical "hydrogen economy". Especially when there are so many problems with using hydrogen at the hydrogen production end.
Really? Well you must know something that everyone else here doesn't. Please, share your knowledge.
You'll need wheels and wheel bearings. Even the diesel-electric locomotive has wheels.
From the sun .... solar water splitting. Think of it this way .... how much energy does it take to power all the vehicles in the world compared to how much energy it takes to warm and sustain a sphere 25,000 miles in diameter 93 million miles away? The answer cannot be expressed in 'quads' if it is to be meaningful. The answer is 'a hell of a lot'. We have the sun ... we have the water (70% of the earth) ... we have only to learn how to take advantage of the obvious.

decent budget hotel
Nice clean accommodation, rooms small but decent enough for the price and a lovely breakfast.
Couldn't use the bar in the basement because of terrible smell of damp and couldn't get a drink anyway as no one serving even when ringing bell, but apart from the bar nice enough place to stay.

- Field theory;
- Poincaré invariance
Starting from a very general quantum field theory we seek to derive Poincaré invariance in the limit of low energy excitations. We do not, of course, assume these symmetries at the outset, but rather only a very general second quantised model. Many of the degrees of freedom on which the fields depend turn out to correspond to a higher dimension. We are not yet perfectly successful. In particular, for the derivation of translational invariance, we need to assume that some background parameters, which a priori vary in space, can be interpreted as gravitational fields in a future extension of our model. Assuming translational invariance arises in this way, we essentially obtain quantum electrodynamics in just 3+1 dimensions from our model. The only remaining flaw in the model is that the photon and the various Weyl fermions turn out to have their own separate metric tensors.
